Ask Rod, he would definitely know...
Orion

Howdy:

Yes...

The asteroid system is a little different in Cartes du Ciel from what you may
be used to.

1. Go to the "Preferences" menu and click "Catalog and Object Parameters".
Select the "Asteroids" tab. Select the asteroid or asteroids you're interested
in from the list. As with other Win apps, you can click, click/ctrl, or
click/shift to select one or many as desired. Click OK. They'll now be
displayed.

2. To search for your asteroids, click the little binocular icon, click the
Solar System tab, and then "Asteroids" button. Highlight the one you want and
OK. You'll be taken there.

3. To speed things up, don't display more asteroids than necessary.
